Here we are, the night before the first day of school. It’s almost hard to believe that the holidays are over and that my Son will be back to school again in just a few hours. He is excited and I am happy for him. We had a blast visiting places and doing the things we enjoy the most over the past few weeks without worrying about perfections and deadlines. Yesterday I asked my kids what they would like to do today and they said they wanted to go running around in the backyard. What about movies? I asked. “Well, maybe we could see Turbo,” my Son replied.
This morning we went to the movies and watched Turbo. We treasure movies on demand, though once in a while we enjoy going to the movies when it’s less crowded as it was the case today. We spent some time at the Park before returning home and allowing them to run around in the backyard.
I listened to Benise all afternoon. I love his Music and find it soothing. Nights Of Fire! does the trick all the time.
Benise, Nights Of Fire!.
The house is quiet. We said our prayers a couple of hours ago and the kids are sound asleep.
From someone who showed little to no interest in these Film Series, I must now admit that I am hooked.
When I first heard about it four years ago, I simply thought that it was some weird Vampire TV show and decided not to follow up with it (as my hectic schedule with the Family doesn’t give me extra time to actually sit down quietly for fifteen minutes, with no interruption). It wasn’t until early last year that I realized that these are a Movie Series and not TV shows when Twilight was playing on FX® . Interesting, I said to myself.
A couple of nights ago, while searching for something interesting to watch on TV, I realized that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was about to start on FX®. It was a perfect timing as the kids were sound asleep. What a beautiful and touching story: I instantly fell in love with the script. At this point, I had to watch the entire Series to appreciate.

Like in every given situation (or Movies), we have the option to take the good and leave what doesn’t serve our need. Twilight is an Inspirational Film Series in its own way. Though produced primarily for entertainment, there’s something we can all learn from them. Even what we consider to be the worst and most boring movies can become motivational, hilarious or can get you through a rough moment once you, the viewer, answer this simple question: what’s in it for me? Why do you watch a movie? It is out of curiosity? Because everyone is talking about it and you want to see for yourself what it’s all about? Either way, I think it’s always helpful to read the synopsis of a movie before watching it (this way we don’t waste our time and money on something we end up regretting and negatively critiquing). To me, Movie reviews are spoilers, so I tend not to read them.

I finally got to watch The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 and it is, without a doubt, my favorite of the four. Every single one of the cast members did a splendid job. It’s pretty much about choices we make, surviving and protecting what is dear to us (Family). Every time people stand together as one to fight for what’s right, nothing can defeat them. This is exactly what I want to remember about this series and not the meaningless details. They are entertaining, captivating and inspiring.

To Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, the two main characters of these series and real life couple, I wish Goodness, Happiness, Love and a blessed happily ever after. They are wonderful together.
